Clue #4Kitchen – Fridge: Cupcake, milkMom & Mary

Solution:

Ben broke my previous Raven GIRL’s merch! I’m so mad; it was exclusive concert merch! Ethan used it last to drink lemonade so they’ll just have to buy me another one.

I skipped breakfast this morning because, lo and behold, Silvia took the last cupcake. Luckily, the store is running a promotion at the moment, so I’m gonna go and get more goodies!

It’s my turn to do the chores today so I have to hit the mart after class. Ethan didn’t wash the pot last night, so I’ve also got to make sure that gets cleaned up today too.

Remember!! Buy after class:

  • Dogfood
  • Cupcake
  • Lemonade

Happy 50th birthday, dad!

My favourite uncle, Vincent, came late and gave dad a limited-edition figurine. While dad likes all the presents, it seems that what he really wants is to take a trip together!

There were some problems but in the end everything went well!
P.S. I made a family tree from today’s guests! Unfortunately, unlce Matthew;s family couldn’t come, so they’re not in it.
